Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cohiba" data-source="post: 1881110" data-attributes="member: 2550">To me, if a private school cannot meet these requirements, then they're the same as a public school.#1. Student to teacher ratio should be small.  What that means, the teacher should be able to spend quality time with the students.  The teacher should be able to handle the classroom(minor to no discipline problems) and meet the standards in a timely manner.#2.Discipline...should be little to non-existent.  When they do occur, it should be dealt with in a timely and swift manner.  As for a private school, they should be able to expell an unruly student without any parental problems.#3. They should be able to meet and exceed the state requirements needed for the student to pass on to the next grade.  They should also....toward the end of the school year...be preparing the student for the next grade level.#4. They should be able to offer different modalities of learning geared for each student's needs.  They also should be able to have field trips and guest speakers relavent to the topic for that subject.  They should also have higher standards the students rise up to, not lowering the academic requirements for passing( every body is a winner...WTF??).Thats what I'd look for in a private school.  If they couldn't meet just a few of what I listed...they're no different than a public school.  They have to rise above the standards of public schools or you're not getting your money's worth and wasting a young person's education.Just my 2cents worth.Cohiba</blockquote>
